      Many years ago, the cave planted the seeds of sin

      The beginning of the film is very slow. The children and the lying on the track, even though they often use outdoor scenes, still feel depressed to the point that they can no longer be depressed. This is a story that can no longer be tragic in a family tragedy. The war reporter Paul, who has been away for many years, returned to his hometown because of his father's funeral. However, facing his long-lost brother, his elder brother was very indifferent. . . . . . .

      There are always emotional words that cannot be touched

      The story is a good story. It feels like half an hour can be deleted, which is too long.

      The strange thing is that I like the passages, plots, and fragmented emotions in the movie that can’t be grasped in a flash, but I don’t appreciate that the story is presented in such a hypocritical way. The general feeling this movie gives me is: tangled for tangled, gloomy and gloomy. Sometimes the grief that is overstretched is not as good as it vaguely hits people's hearts.

      At the...

      "In My Father's Cave": The day when the tide ebbs

      When the tide ebbs, the sea leaves without saying goodbye. All the filth, the truth and the past emerge one by one on the beach of memories. What makes us escape? What makes us alone? What keeps us alone? When Paul thought that he could abandon the past, plunge into the world's endless changes, and explore the infinite possibilities, he found that those memories had already become a heavy pain on his back, guiding him on his way back and guiding him into the past. In the dark forest, farewell...

      Awkward awkward

      This is one of the weirdest movies I have watched this year, but it is quite attractive!

          The plot is actually very simple, it's nothing more than a penal debt that a rock girl is pregnant with her literary boyfriend and pretends to force her father. The literary youth Paul and his father Jeff are in the same group. Paul regards his father as an idol, and uses the secret room as a private space and spiritual sustenance for him and his father. Even his rock girlfriend can't violate...

      Regarding the things in the cave, don't dig deep.

      Seeing the topic of caves, I first think of a scene in the book "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". When men encounter difficulties, they tend to hide in their caves to solve them alone. But in this film, it seems that the meaning of "cave" is more profound.
      In the early part of the film, I saw the teenager stubbornly run away with a backpack, and his family stayed behind. I thought it was another vulgar scene of youth pain. This foreshadowing appeared repeatedly, and it can even...

      A bit of a silly storyline, very awesome storytelling and editing. The narration is the brightest place, and the picture with the narration is very harmonious. Love Matthew, love this...
